Speedy deletion nomination of Zandan Poll


A tag has been placed on Zandan Poll requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://zandanpoll.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Chevvin 22:52, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:05, 17 April 2017 (UTC)

Continued discussion
From sock account talk page:

If the only outstanding item with the article was listing the poll results, would it remedy the situation to remove that section and publish the article? All the sources noted were from accredited news organizations in Austin. The Zandan Poll did not pay us or me to put this together. This was and is a pro bono project to bring to the city of Austin-- it would be too late to promote even if we wanted to - there was a public launch with the Mayor earlier this year. The purpose of the Zandan Poll is to be used by the city to inform residents and city leaders on what Austinites find important and the trajectory of the city. Since it is polling data, we want it to be objective as possible to fully maximize its benefit to the city. What can I do to make this work? I am open to all of your suggestions. We have never set up a Wiki page before and clearly have made missteps and will do what you need to make them right. Thank you for your time!

 * Please forget about Zandan Poll. If it is notable, someone else who is not paid will eventually create it.


 * As for you, you are indefinitely blocked. I will not unblock you and I doubt any other administrator will either. Please tell your employer that you cannot accomplish what you are being paid to do. Good luck in all your future endeavours. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:20, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
